It was definately a long and tiring day today! I think I spoke too soon yesterday about Sam being so cooperative. Between all of the kids starting out a little on the tired side, there were many meltdowns today. I wish I could say that the two little ones were the only ones guilty of those meltdowns! But I had a good reason for mine! LOL!
But, dinner literally took the cake (or cheesecake!) We only ate snacks and things around the park and decided to eat our big meal of the day at the Cheesecake Factory, which recently opened across from our hotel. Everyone was hungry and tired and beyond cranky! To illustrate, the older three were on such a thin thread, they had to walk to the restaurant holding hands with the threat of only getting broccoli for dinner if they stepped out of line! And I should have known that I had not picked a very friendly family place to eat, when they informed me they didn't have a children's menu! Well, between Sam trying to stuff his roll down the shirt of the guy sitting behind us, Olivia screaming at the top of her lungs throughout dinner and saying "no" to everything we tried to feed her and Sam flinging himself on the floor and needing to be dragged out screaming at the end, I think the poor restaurant took a deep sigh of relief at our exit! But, I have to admit, it was really great food!
But, all in all, we had a good time. We startd the morning at California Adventures, which is a lot of fun for the older kids. Chipper and Mitchell ran through "California Screamin" several times and love that roller coaster so much! Olivia has decided she is too scared to ride on the carousel, so her and I sat on the little couch.
We head home tomorrow, depending on whether or not the kids settle down and go to bed soon, we may or may not spend a few hours there in the morning. At this point, it's not looking good!

I have always wondered why they don't have a kids menu, I mean come on, what place doesn't have a kids menu. We love their food too. I am sorry for the meltdowns, including yours ;) I hope that tomorrow is a good day and your drive home is safe and quick.
Being so close to the park, you would think they would cater to the kids. We always go to Mimi's Cafe. Great food and great with the kids too. Good luck tomorrow!
Why didn't I think of threatening only broccoli for dinner??? Maybe Ashley would have stayed at SafeKey if I had threatened that. You know you've had lots of fun when everyone starts FREAKING OUT! (That's how most of our Disney trips end.)
